Program Extension

Source: https://oia.osu.edu/international-students/immigration-information/program-extension Parent: https://oia.osu.edu/

As an F-1 or J-1 student, you are given a specific period of time to complete your degree requirements.

For F-1 students, this period of time is reflected in the Program of Study section of your Form I-20, and for J-1 students, this period of time is reflected in Section 3 of your DS-2019. If you are unable to finish your degree requirements by that date, you must apply for a program extension BEFORE your current document expires.

In addition to the Program Extension form (as well as a letter of support from the academic advisor for Graduate students), you are also responsible for showing proof of funding for the additional time you need to extend.
